Character Talk:  Juniper Stone

2/12/2018

3 Comments

 
Full Name - Juniper Elisabeth Stone
Gift - Nature
Birthday - October 31st
Parents - Darragh Stone and Aoife Holloway-Stone 
Although I had not known Juniper for very long, it quickly became evident that her mind was an enchanted forest. She spoke words that radiated wonder and fascination, and she lived with an innocent freedom many people envied.

Surrounded by moss and long green vines, Juniper slept with her eyes gently closed. Her skin was pale and her dress was torn, but an intricate wildflower crown wove around the top of her golden-brown hair.

Who is Juniper Stone?

Juniper Stone makes a dramatic entrance in the Fire & Ice book series. After the mysterious attack in the Night Oak Forest, the Academy for Gifted Youth is thrown into a state of turmoil. The wild-haired girl is missing, and her cousin, Violet Holloway, believes patrols are obligated to scour the land beyond the shadowed wood. 
Juniper wakes from a strange sleep in the White Birch Forest, unaware of her location and the peculiar turn of events. Even so, it quickly becomes apparent that she is wise beyond her years.
​
She is the Last Elemental.

Here are a few lovely facts about Juniper Stone:
​

She's an old soul

All living things have the ability to flourish when they are tended with gentle hands.
- Erin Forbes, Fire & Ice: The Lost Dreamer

She is fiercely loyal

There are few friends more steadfast and true.
Juniper Stone stands beside her friends in times of trial. She lives with an open mind, and her actions are guided by the deep morals in her heart. Her whimsical disposition and unapologetic attitude form the basis of her character. She learns to regard every creature with an admirable sense of humanity and compassion, and she seeks to understand her Gifted companions.
For this reason, she develops a strong bond with her fellow Elementals.

She despises Cleo Lennox

Well, who doesn't, really? 
​Juniper's whimsy is equal to her intelligence, and this trait gives her the ability to perceive the dark intentions of the Lennox clan. Throughout the Fire & Ice book series, she demonstrates her ability to read the character of simple strangers.
One might blame her wide eyes for her observant personality.

She regards her Gift as a friend

'The trees do not hesitate to tell me about the strange things they have observed,' responded Juniper.
- Erin Forbes, Fire & Ice: The Lost Dreamer

​Unlike so many, the curious girl does not seek to control the element of nature. She prefers to have a conversation with her Gift, requesting nothing more than answers to her careful wishes.

She comes from a large family

The Stone residence was a remarkable place. The crimson door gave entrance to a large house. Paintings and portraits of wild-haired people decorated the walls. There was no doubt these individuals were the relatives of Juniper Stone.
- Erin Forbes, Fire & Ice: The Lost Dreamer
You may be familiar with her younger brother, Hugo, but did you know Juniper Stone is the eldest daughter in a family of six children? The Stone clan is quite extensive, as guests observe during their popular celebrations. Despite their number, the Stone clan is quite an intimate and inseparable group of people.

This is so cool! I'm defiently planning a similar idea with my characters once I get closer to release day. Juniper was one of my favorite characters in the first book. I can't wait to read about her in book 2!!

Some book characters are way too cool that you will feel bad they don't just happen to be real people in your waking life. In as much as we end up seriously frustrated, how are we to know who exactly does its author have in mind while creating this character? It's definitely a real person with blood and intestines and everything. Maybe they have nice skin. We don't know for sure. Unless we know the author personally, this secret will be kept to the grave. Believe me you don't want to mess with any author because he gets to decide if you will be loved or hated and cursed deeply in his next concept. You don't want strangers hating you without you knowing.
